PPA2 - Simple Sketch Challenge Take Two



Stamps: Circle Circus (115778) and Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)
Paper: Melon Mambo (115320), Basic Black (102851), Whisper White (100730)
Ink: Basic Black (101179)
The Right Tools: SNAIL (104332), Mat Pack (105826), Paper-Piercing Tool (116631), Eyelet Border Punch (113692), Word Window Punch (105090) Craft & Paper Scissors (108360) and Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
Finishing Touches: Black Gingham Ribbon (104832) and black brads from the Vintage brads collection (109109)
  • Cut a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock in half the long way. You will end up with a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4 x 11. Score at 5 1/2 and fold. Cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock to measure 3 1/2 x 3 3/4. Set both aside.
  • Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to measure 4 x 5 1/4 and another one to measure 3 3/8 x 3 5/8. Set aside.
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to measure 3 1/4 x 3 1/2. Now you have all of your paper for this project ready to go.
  • Take the piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 4 x 5 1/2 and, using the Eyelet Border punch, punch along the bottom of one end.
  • Next, tie a piece of ribbon around the piece of Basic Black cardstock you just punched and form a knot. Snip the ends to the desired length. Set aside.
  • Take your piece of Whisper White cardstock, Circle Circus stamp set and Basic Black ink and stamp the various circle images on the piece of cardstock. Have fun with it!
  • Once you are done stamping, using your SNAIL, adhere the Whisper White cardstock to your 3 3/8 x 3 5/8 piece of Basic Black cardstock.
  • Next, using your SNAIL again, adhere the Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock to your 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Melon Mambo cardstock.
  • You now want to attach this to the 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic Black cardstock with the ribbon you have set aside.
  • Now, attach the entire thing to the base of your card. We are almost done!
  • Lastly, using a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and your Basic Black ink, stamp the sentiment "friend to friend."
  • Center the Word Window punch around the sentiment and punch it out.
  • Using your Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing tool, poke two holes on either side of the sentiment and attach black brads...be careful as there isn't much wiggle room and it's easy to rip the cardstock.
  • Once the brads are attached, cut one Stampin' Dimensional in two and place on the back of the sentiment.
  • Decide where you'd like the sentiment to go and adhere it to the card. That's it. You're done!
